‘E-bikes aren’t a menace – they are a lifeline for my household’: LISA SNELL takes on PETER HITCHENS

After my colleague Peter Hitchens claimed electric bikes are only used by people with bad intentions, it’s time for a bit of balance – because that simply isn’t true!

Lazy? Not at all. Most riders are ordinary people doing their bit for the environment.
